Christian Speaking Biography

God has been preparing Maria Carl for ministry for a long time.

Born in Michigan, Maria grew up in a loving home filled with song. She accepted Jesus Christ into her heart at the age of 8 and began studying the Bible as a teenager. God has honed Maria's skill as a public speaker through her work in education and politics. He has tested her faith with the unexpected loss of her husband, with her battle with cancer, and with all of the challenges of being a single mother. Over the last few years, God has begun to open the doors for Maria to encourage and motivate other women through her speaking ministry.

Maria holds an M.A. in secondary education and spent ten years teaching American government and history classes at Bethany Christian School, Troy, Michigan. She met Doug Carl when she was 28 at her first political meeting. They married in 1983 and their daughter, Colleen, was born a few years later.

Maria became increasingly involved in politics as Doug was elected to several public offices before serving as Michigan State Senator. As a talented soloist, she was asked to sing "God Bless America" to the President of the United States when he visited her county in 1988. She served as Executive Director of the Macomb County Republican Party for two years and was an elected delegate to the Republican National Convention in Houston, TX in 1992.

Maria became a widow and single mother in 1997 when Doug died suddenly and unexpectedly. Only by leaning on God has she been able to cope with her grief.

Maria runs a home based education business, is president of the Walton Public Charter Academy, and serves as a school board member. Through home-based businesses, Maria has been able to keep her focus on her daughter, Colleen, who has always been a priority and has graduated from a Christian college majoring in vocal music.

Maria is now a sought after speaker for Christian women's events for Stonecroft Ministries. She is a member of Macomb Baptist Church in Clinton Township, Michigan and is active in the church choir.
